Tape Rec hails from Rio in Brasil and I got really lucky a
while ago to get a random email list message from Le Almeida's label Transfusao
Noise (Very worth checking out), and hearing Tape Rec was like a perfect trip
back to raw 90's grunge/indie/punk. This record really just has all the
influences that a kid getting into music in the 90's would want - it's got the
raw stripped down lo-fi sound that bands like The Breeders and Butterglory do,
with occasional noised out mania of Sonic Youth or Pixies. The vocals are
pure sugary gold, and even come with the occasional Screeching Weasel style
guitar lead. Seriously, this is just the catchiest, most infectious stuff
with a perfect raw production - no polish here at all - perfect grunge pop for
this punk heart!!! If you dig this one, definitely check out Le's other
bands - all of which are in this genre and rule. These are $10 in an
order or $14ppd all alone. Get in touch for wholesale or trades.
